Are they or aren't they?  Dancing with the Stars champs Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough have gossips' tongues wagging as "insiders" have divulged to several media sources that the pair are very flirtatious and now are an item.  Is that really the case?  The ABC reality show has spawned a few romances already including last years' hhok up between Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff and this year's Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas romance.

 
So why not Helio and the adorable Julianne?  They did share that kiss on air that had a good buzz going.  Well both were recently engaged but those have both been ended.  So what is the real story - and what are they putting in the water over at ABC's Dancing with the Stars?

 
Us Weekly magazine has denials all around from the pair.  Hough - who recently denied that she is dating Entourage actor Kevin Connolly (but then wore his ring on tv) - insists there is nothing going on. “Noooooo. We are just friends,” she told Access Hollywood. “There was nothing with [her former partner Apolo Anton Ohno] last season and there’s nothing with Helio now.”

As for that infamous on-air smooch, Castroneves told Access his ex, Vazquez, was not happy with it, but he was. “I was like, 'Yea! I got a kiss, yea!'" he said. "She’s amazing," the race-car driver told Access of Hough. "I was listening to her, she was the engine of my car I was driving and again everything, all the way, it was a great ride.”

So, who is this aspiring actress/singer dating?  It seems Julianne Hough has made a name for herself by just saying No!
